Stalking Out His Claim.

A slim young man was perched on a
stool in one of the large restaurants near
The Tribune building devouring straw
berry dumping. The capacity Of the res
taurant was not sufficient for the rush Of
customers, and behind the fortunate pos
SCISSORS of stools formed another line Of
hungry candidates glaring over the shoul-
ders OF the eaters and watching each
mouthful disappear. Behind the slim
young man, however, four hungry eyes
watched the vanishing fragments of straw
berry dumping. There were two con-
testants for the seat-a corpulent old per-
son in spectacles and a tall man with q
silk hat.
The slim young man, completing his
lunch, climbed down from his perch and
the corpulent watcher, with great activ-
ity, began 10 climb up.
Hold on" said the other candidate,

What fors"

l was here, sir, when that young man
began TO eat his dumping Perhaps" I"
added the tall man scornfully. "you think
that l have been standing here just to
count how many mouthfuls there are in a
strawberry dumping"
The elderly man laid his hand on the
stool and said, with the confident air Of
one who holds four aces: Il am very
sorry, sir, but you really have no claim at
all. was here when this young man
was unable to decide whether he wanted
a strawberry dumping or custard pie"
And then the corpulent old man, having
seen the tall man and gone him one
better, climbed upon the STOOL and his
rival moved sadly along to stake out an
other claim on a man who had just or
dered fish balls with tomato sauce Chi

of the stomach after food it has been
found useful TO add five or six minims of

and, when there is want Of tone in the seat
of indigestion and bad appetite, five or ten
minims of the tincture of nuX yomica have

PolicenaH and Druggist.

An old and chestnuty joke is related
Of Boston policeman who was sent post
haste to drug store the other day to get
some medicine for Il sick man in a police
station. While he was waiting for the
medicine to he compounded the polite and
suave drug clerk asked him to have a glass
of soda With the wild hope that there
might be stick in it the policeman
replied that he didncar' 'fedid. If there
was any stick" in it, it must have been
a crock stick" for the taste was un-
known to the .'cop," and vile withal.
Swallowing his disappointment with the
other stuff, the policeman then asked if
that medicine wasn't nearly ready. MY
dear SIR" replied the clerk, with a su-
perior sort of smile, ''yOu have just taken
it in the soda; we frequently give un-
pleasant medicines in that way" What
the policeman said is not recorded, but II
